Rowan Retreat was simply perfect, there’s no other word for it!

I’ve just come back from 5 nights there, and cannot name a single thing that could be improved about it.
The location is amazing, so quiet and private, yet very easy to get to. It’s wonderfully kitted out – I’ve got used to bringing a few extra kitchen utensils and things from home to huts like this, yet didn’t need any of them here, as everything was provided.
I like to BBQ every day I’m there, and even that was an absolutely top quality item!

It’s lovely and comfy, there’s good storage which is always necessary in a small hut, and the recently installed WiFi was an excellent unexpected bonus.

I will definitely be back for my next stay in the Lakes 😃

I spent my 60th weekend at the outstandingly beautiful Cazenovia Hall, part of the Rowley Estates. Cazenovia is a wonderful building with attention to detail throughout. Such thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper with wine, cheese, milk, bread, gingerbread. It’s the most equipped kitchen we have ever had whilst staying away.
This is our third visit in the Rowley Estates cottages. We keep coming back as it’s faultless. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The combination of the accommodation being so cosy and homely whilst being secluded within the natural surroundings of the forest made our days here extremely relaxing. Christine was a great host who was very informative and quick to respond to our queries. I would highly recommend staying here and intend on returning in the future.

Wonderfully peaceful and private. Lovely welcome goodies. Would happily stay again and again.

Really loved our stay. The property was lovely and dogs loved the large enclosed garden. Would definitely recommend as a great base for exploring Cumbria and the The Lakes.

What a beautiful place to be, very relaxing… a brilliant host great communication will definitely be returning for another stay. Thanks

The weather was cool during our visit,
But Christine our host made it clear that the shepherds hut has great insulation and it did, it was toasty.
Even double glazed windows.
A great little log burner that warmed the whole hut throughout.

We had such an amazing, peaceful and much-needed stay. Hawthorne Retreat was exactly the getaway we needed! Christine was so lovely and always quick to respond to any questions we had.

Thank you again for having us. We had the best time and would definitely love to come back!

Our 2 night stay was perfect – really detailed check-in instructions, so easy to find, great location with the local bakery and a short drive to Ulswater. The hut itself was spacious and well equipped. Really couldn’t fault it. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved our time at Elm Retreat! I’ve never been so impressed by what an Airbnb offered — the attention to detail, the breakfast hamper, the BBQ/fire pit materials, bug spray, battery lamp, anything we could think of. Surroundings are peaceful and private. An overall great stay
